ITT: Proof that Brad is real and also the coolest

(sorry in advance for the shitty phone pics)

OK, so, I got Skyward Sword.

shiny box is shiny and also hard to photograph

Brad told me that if I got Skyward Sword he would give me back my Zelda card. (http://forums.applenova.com/showpost.php?p=747174&postcount=18) I figured he would just send me a little printout or something. I somehow forgot that this is the dude that makes chain mail by hand, he doesn't do things halfway :lol:

First, the envelope:

From the Red Lions Ministry of Classifications! :lol: Note the super cool envelope printing. And what's that stamp? ZOOM IN AND ENHANCE!

It's the Ministry of Magic seal! :O Which is not from Zelda. But still super cool!

Here's the back of the envelope:

And (drumroll plz) here's the card inside!

it's laminated, so you know it's legit! (and also hard to photograph!)

That's not me, because I didn't want to send Brad a pic because I'm dumb. But it looks kinda like me, if I shave and remove my piercings and don't dye my hair! It's like Job Interview Robo. But it is an official card, for serious players, so that's appropriate.

I think my favorite part is the back:

I love the fine print! :D Cool points to people who recognize the symbols. And omg, the Official Nintendo Seal! :lol: I know, I know, not valid unless signed, but it was too pretty to sign. Maybe later.

So, in short, Brad is a real person and not a corupt forum bot, and he is also super cool and legit. And I have a Zelda Card now! :D

You're awesome Brad. Well done completely. :)

Seriously, this is awesome. And I'm not even all that into Zelda. *gasp!*

Further proof to confirm what we all already knew - Brad's just amazing. :)

Haha, that's fantastic. I wholly approve.

[Capella]

That's outstanding! Wonderful work, Brad.

Bizzump!

Last week I got another package from Brad & Co., but I haven't had a chance to post about it until now. Inside the package was something even more awesome.

Inside the box was...Makar.

Here he is, playing Wii:

He's adorable! Makar is one of my favorite Zelda characters. SO CUTE.

And credit where credit is due: to quote Brad, "Wifey is to credit fully for his creation. She saw me making the Zelda Card and wanted to do something creative too." Creative indeed! Thanks, mostlyplants! :D :D :D

To make the package extra-perfect, Makar came with this note:

:D

Thanks again. Really brightened my day, it did. I was all, OMG OMG OMG Makar!!!

So now we have proof that Brad and his wife are real and also the coolest :D

[RowdyScot]
